From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
G-Drive Racing No. 26 Oreca 07, winner of the 2018 European Le Mans Series in the LMP2 class

The 2018 European Le Mans Series was the fifteenth season of the Automobile Club de l'Ouest's (ACO) European Le Mans Series. The six-event season began at Circuit Paul Ricard on 15 April and finished at Algarve International Circuit on 28 October.[1] The series is open to Le Mans Prototypes, divided into the LMP2 and LMP3 classes, and grand tourer-style racing cars in the LMGTE class.[2]

Calendar

[edit]

The provisional 2018 calendar was announced on 23 September 2017. The calendar comprises six events, featuring the same six circuits that hosted events in the 2017 season. The rounds at Silverstone and Paul Ricard swapped their places in the calendar, with the French circuit hosting the opening round and Silverstone moving to an August date, once again in conjunction with the FIA World Endurance Championship.

The official pre-season test also returned to Paul Ricard after a one-year absence, having taken place at Autodromo Nazionale di Monza in 2017.[1]
